Set within approximately three acres of beautifully curated grounds, Oakley is a home of rare distinction. An exceptional country residence that perfectly balances striking contemporary design with the privacy and tranquillity of its historic setting. Built on the site of the former rectory, this remarkable home offers a sense of heritage while delivering a level of finish and specification that is unmistakably modern and undeniably luxurious.

Approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway, the sense of arrival here is immediate. The property sits proudly within its grounds, surrounded by mature trees, landscaped gardens and far-reaching views across open countryside.

The principal living spaces are beautifully proportioned, with large windows and sliding doors drawing in natural light and framing the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. High-specification cabinetry, premium work surfaces and a suite of quality appliances combine to create a space that is as functional as it is visually striking. This area flows seamlessly into additional reception spaces, each offering its own character and purpose, from more formal living areas to relaxed garden-facing rooms that invite the outside in.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The bedrooms are generous and beautifully appointed, with the principal suite standing out as a true retreat, complete with dressing area, en-suite and direct access to a private roof terrace, offering elevated views across the grounds and beyond. Additional bedrooms are equally impressive, many enjoying en-suite facilities and outlooks across the surrounding countryside. The second floor provides a highly versatile additional space perfect for use as a guest suite, studio or further living area, making it an ideal addition for any growing family.

Externally, Oakley truly comes into its own. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct spaces, from formal gardens to more natural, wooded areas. A central circular water feature provides a stunning focal point, while pathways lead you through the grounds, offering a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and immersive.

A particularly notable feature is the extensive range of outbuildings. Designed with flexibility in mind, these spaces lend themselves to a variety of uses whether for leisure, guest accommodation or further development (stp). The impressive double garage is complemented by a dedicated gym to the rear and a useful office space above, creating the perfect setup for those looking to balance home, work and wellbeing. The inclusion of additional workshop areas and storage further enhances the practicality of this already exceptional home. Sustainability and forward-thinking design have also been carefully integrated, with features such as solar panels enhancing the efficiency of the property without compromising on style.
